ASTER is a planned space mission under development by the Brazilian Space Agency that will launch a spacecraft to orbit a near-Earth object known as (153591) 2001 SN263, a triple asteroid system. The launch is scheduled for 2025, with a rendezvous in 2024/2027. According to de Brum et al. 2021, the launch is planned for June 2022 (asteroid arrival in December 2024) or June 2025 (arrival September 2027).
